Former Crimson Tide standout Mikey White will begin his second season at Alabama in 2025, having returned to his alma mater to serve in a player development role.
White spent the 2023 season as an assistant coach at Tennessee Tech where he served as the hitting coach while also working with infielders. Prior to his time in Cookeville, White worked for one season at Trevecca Nazarene in Nashville.
White's coaching career began at Ensworth High School in Nashville where he worked from 2020-21. He got into coaching following six seasons in the Oakland A's organization where he advanced as high as the Triple-A level. White was drafted in the second round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the A's to become just the 11th player in Alabama history to be taken in the first or second round of the draft at that time.
A staple at shortstop for the Crimson Tide from 2013-15, he started all 184 games across three seasons at the Capstone. The Birmingham native's resume included Freshman All-America, All-SEC Second Team and a pair of NCAA All-Regional Team honors. He batted .308 for his career, totaling 200-plus hits while adding 98 RBI and 132 runs scored.
He came to UA following a decorated prep career at Spain Park High School where he was named Alabama's Gatorade Player of the Year by ESPN in addition to Mr. Baseball for the state in 2012.
White graduated from UA in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in human environmental sciences following his time in pro ball. He and his wife Lindsay have twin daughters, Norah and Evie.
